Ruth is originally from County Laois, Ireland and is based in NYC. She speaks German, Spanish, Irish (Gaelic) and French.

After completing a BA in International Marketing, German & French at DCU, Dublin, Ruth spent some years working in Germany.  She then moved to the UK where she completed an MA in Contemporary Theatre Practice at the University of Essex and subsequently trained as an actor at Arts Educational Drama School, London.

She spent a few years working in London where she co-founded Kassiopia Theatre Company which focused on performing contemporary Irish theatre and performed with them in London, Scotland and the US.

After a few years of living in London, on a whim she applied for, and won, the Green Card lottery which prompted her move to NYC.
​
When not acting, she enjoys training clients on the Lagree megaformer at SLT in NYC and frequenting salsa clubs.
